What does “high-retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a tenant-stay signal used to highlight buildings where tenants tend to stay longer. It’s a useful indicator, not a guarantee of how any specific lease will go.

How does the “M1 bus” part of the filter work?

It narrows the search to buildings near the M1 bus corridor. Still confirm your real commute: walk the route at your travel time and verify stop proximity.

Does high retention mean units will be affordable or stable in price?

Not automatically. Retention can point to satisfaction with the building or management, but rent changes and lease terms still vary by unit, lease start, and renewals—confirm the details for the exact apartment you’re considering.

What should I ask before applying in a high-retention building?

Ask about current lease terms (renewal expectations and timing), included utilities and appliances, deposit and move-in fees, and any building rules that affect your use of the space (entry procedures, packages, laundry, and any restrictions that apply).

Where do the review signals come from?

Openigloo aggregates signals from rated buildings and tenant-contributed context on building pages. Use it to inform questions, then confirm anything important directly with the building.

Are these buildings guaranteed to match my exact needs (quiet, maintenance speed, pet rules)?

No. Even within the same retention pattern, individual units and management practices can differ. Use tenant Q&A and ask management to confirm policies that matter to your situation.
